Evaluation of acrylamide grafted moth bean starch as controlled release excipient

► Grafted copolymer now became a hot topic for research interest as it creates a new source of modified biomaterial for their specific in pharmaceutical as well as food industry. ► We have synthesized a new grafted copolymer using microwave assisted synthesis. ► The grafted copolymer was evaluated as controlled release excipient for pharmaceutical formulation development. ► The results revealed that the acrylamide grafted copolymer could be successfully used as controlled release polymer.
